Inexcusable how FFV gets two wide open threes in OT. The last one looked like they were playing zone down one in OT with a minute left. Just ridiculously foolish to play zone in that situation. Inexcusable that WUJ was okay with just letting Beal pound the rock.

This is what I'm talking about with Beal, every good game he has you know you are in store for 2-3 after were he totally let's down.

WUJ also showing he had a lot to be desired as a head coach.

I thought Wil Barton was bought out , Beal looked like vintage Barton with the over dribbling and shooting bricks selfishly

You don't deserve to win an NBA game when you turn the ball over 24 times. It's amazing that it went to OT. OG had just six points but he really impacted the game on defense as did Barnes and Siakam. You see those three guys and I know neither is a great shooter and you wonder with FVV and Trent, who in the hell are they in 9th place in the East? Seems like their bench is weak and they don't defend the 3 that well. Even tonight, we were 14 of 24 from long range. Needed more ball movement in the last 10 minutes. Not just Beal or Kuz ISOs.

The best is when he looked off a wide open, hot Kispert in the corner for a forced fadeaway in the paint. At least he signaled to him an apology afterwards... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Still think best thing for this team is to finish in 11th or 12th place in the East. Delon Wright also continues to impress with 18 points, seven assists, six steals and six rebounds. I know he's a role player, but he's been solid even as a three-point shooter (36.4%). He missed 30 games and I think we'd be fighting for sixth if he didn't miss so much time.

They'll lose to Toronto in the Play-In.

Hopefully.

I’m in Vegas for the fight tonight, and I was at the sports book at the Pallazo during the game—some kid next to me decided to bet on the Wizards to win OT. I warned him not too lol

Really hope so too. Nick Nurse is head and shoulders a better coach than Wes.

In the upcoming draft there are a number of late lottery talents that would be a potentially great addition (e.g. Anthony Black or Cason Wallace).

We need a lottery pick more than a 1st round exit

24 TOs, and this thread is pretty even keel, all things considered. Go figure
Always remember, my friend: the world will change again. And you may have to come back through everywhere you've been.

I looked at the shooting numbers and I'm like how is this game so close then I saw the turn over and went how were we in it at all.

Yep, when the other team gets 15 more shots than you do... good things don't tend to happen. They kind of missed Morris and to a lesser degree Deni this game.
